Author Information

I have dreamed of creating a cookbook for many years. Collecting recipes has always been our family's way. My late husband Joe and I started collection our family heritage recipes following our marriage in 1966. We were given a recipe booklet by grandmother as wedding gift, which was created by her and her mother Helen when she was a young woman in the summer of 1891. We created our cookbooks in the sixties and in 1990 we have printed our first booklet.

We treasured our family and our Hungarian heritage so much, that we decided to call the booklet The Treasured Hungarian Family Recipes™. The subtitle of this little piece of our family was titled Our Mom's Hungarian Heritage Recipes™. We planned on publishing a full cookbook in 1991 for our Silver Wedding Anniversary. But Life had something else to say. My husband's death finally put a halt on my little project. Upon my daughter's forceful, but still loving "suggestion" I started to work on my books. The rest is history, today I have 7 books and countless e-books. Even though my loving husband is gone now, I still carry his love with me through our memories and the titles of my cookbooks that we dreamed up together. Treasured Hungarian Family Recipes™ , Helen's Hungarian Heritage Collection™ / Mom's Hungarian Heritage Recipes™/Helen's Hungarian Rhapsody of Recipes™remind me of the love of my life Joe, and my loving family including my sweet Mother, Grandmothers and Father every day.

Kifli - Hungarian Croissant (Bread)

Our country has been blessed with soil that is perfect for wine making. It enables wine makers to create such world-famous wines as the delicate, golden "Tokaji Aszu" also called "The Nectar of the Gods".

The robust, and fiery "Bull's Blood". Legend has it that during the 16th century the Turks surrounded the City of Eger. After many days of fighting they were surprised to see that the Hungarian warriors gained strength by drinking a deep red liquid. Learning that the Turks sent spies to find out what the concoction was, the clever captain of the fortress of Eger spread the rumour that his warriors were drinking bull's blood. The Turks were so terrified of the bloodthirsty Hungarians that they gave up fighting for the fortress and left without looking back.

Hungarian Chicken Paprikash is a National Treasure, and one of the symbols of Hungary. The author Helen's Hungarian Heritage Recipe Collection in Treasured Hungarian Family Recipes 1,2 and Mom's Hungarian Heritage Recipes by Helen M Radics include this original, traditional recipe. There is no country in the world that hasn't heard of this brilliant red dish with a flavour on its own. It's fiery red colour is achieved by another Hungarian symbol, the Hungarian Red Paprikapowder. Outside of Hungary "Szegedi" paprika is the best known, however every housewife in Hungary swears by the red paprika of Kalocsa, which is considered to be the best in the country.

Interestingly enough Hungarians didn't even know the paprikaplant until the 16th century, during which time the OttomanEmpire has invaded Hungary and brought with them manyexotic spices and plants, including the paprika plant. Howeverduring this time Hungarians used the plant as decoration forits pretty flower.

Honey Gerbeaud Slice (Mezes Zserbo in Hungarian) is another version of the delectable Gerbeaud Slice (Zserbo) from the world-famous Gerbeaud Cafe of Budapest. Its delicate, custard-like cream will make this light dessert slice a family favourite in no time. You may also bake it in a cake form, fill it and dust it with unsweetened cocoa powder to create an original cake fit for any occasion. ...see recipe in the recipe section or by clicking on the photos

popular in recent years especially in Canada and the United States where culinary experts incorporate it into more and more dishes or have them as a main course. Their natural habitat is South America and they are also called "Musco Ducks" because of their favourite diet, mosquitoes. People become very curious of these special birds due to their unique appearance and special flavour. Some people dislike them for the very same reason and also due to their aggression and messiness. However, these birds are highly intelligent, trusting and friendly. Many people keep them as pets and exhibition birds. It is also known as "Barbary Duck". I became aware of these birds in one of the local specialty stores a few years ago.

I like to roast the legs especially for the unique flavour of the roast, that is very different from regular ducks. It is a nice change from chicken and turkey. Enjoy them with red wine

Vegeta is a powdered vegetable soup base, very popular in Europe,especially as a Chicken Soup Base. You may also use it as a rub for roastchicken, duck or pork chops. There many uses for this versatile soup base.I always use fresh ingredients, but also like to add a little bit (about a teaspoon)of Vegeta to my dishes. You may also add some to your rice water, boiledpotato water or turkey / chicken gravy. Using it in a gravy is best when you drain it prior to thickening it, to the vegetable pieces. You would want your gravy to be smooth. There are many other similar products on the market, such as Delicate, but Vegeta is the most popular by all means. It is readily available in all European and gourmet stores.

Grape Seed Oil is very beneficial for your overall health. The health effects of grapes have recently been attributed to the presence of antioxidants, and the seeds of grapes contain many of these healing compounds.

Grape seeds have been pressed for their oil for several centuries, used for its medicinal properties and as a popular skin treatment and cosmetics ingredient, and as a carrier oil for treatment with essential oils and aromatherapy.

Grape seed extract is a safe supplement taken as a pill or a capsule. The best effecthas been noticed in the circulatory system, and include healing and supporting healthyblood vessels. The antioxidants in grape seed extract may prevent cancer. Grapeseed extract is useful for its effects on high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, visionproblems, and reducing cholesterol and swelling.

Grape seed oil helps to prevent wrinkles in several ways. The first is by moisturizingreplacing sebum removed during cleansing. The second is by locking moisture in andkeeping toxins out of the pores with it unique filming ability. It dries to a lightweight invisible film a few moments after application. Third is the antioxidant content. The antioxidants are probably just as important as the fatty acids. They help to prevent and repair free radical damage, one of the primary causes of cellular aging.

Grape seed oil has proven to be an effective natural skin care treatment for repairing the delicate area around the eyes. Elsewhere on the body, it has proven to be beneficial for reducing stretch marks. It supports blood vessel strength and helps to protect against the collagen breakdown typically accompanying the aging process.

Goulash Paste (Gulyas Krem in Hungarian) is a wonderful combination of Hungarian spices that can be added to soups, stews, goulash based dishes and Chicken

barbecue sauce to create an uniquely European flavour. Goulash Paste comes in tubes and bottles as seen on the photos. It is widely available in European and Gourmet Stores. However, be careful when purchasing. There is a sweet (not spicy, sweet here means not "hot") and Hot.
